Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to manage a deployment of virtual machines in a cluster by, in a first host of a plurality of hosts, monitor, with first control plane services, an availability of second control plane services at a second host of the plurality of hosts, wherein the first control plane services and the second control plane services support implementation of application programming interface (API) requests in association with managing a cluster, after a determination that the second control plane services at the second host is not available, assign the first control plane services at the first host to operate in place of the second control plane services at the second host, and in the first host, assign, via the first control plane services at the first host, resources of one or more hosts in the cluster to support the API request.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage the migration of workloads from a first computing system to a second computing system. In one implementation, the first computing system identifies a request to migrate one or more workloads to a second computing system. In response to the request, the first computing system disables one or more services and disables all but one network interface on the first computing system. The first computing system then communicates configuration information to the second computing system and monitors for a cancel notification from the second computing system using the remining network interface. After receiving the cancel notification, the first computing system enables the other network interfaces may initiate the one or more services.

Abstract: Drift is automatically detected in configuration of services running in a management appliance of a software-defined data center. A method of automatically detecting drift includes: in response to a notification of a change in a configuration of a first service enabled for proactive drift detection, transmitting a first request to compute drift in the configuration of the first service to a plug-in of the first service, the first request including the change in the configuration of the first service; periodically, at designated time intervals, transmitting a second request to compute drift in the configuration of a second service enabled for passive drift detection, to the plug-in of the second service, the second request including a current state of the configuration of the second service; and notifying a desired state management service of the computed drift in the configuration of the first and second services.

Abstract: Distributed tracing is applied during an upgrade from a first management appliance to a second management appliance. The distributed tracing method includes generating a parent span that encapsulates states of the overall workflow, including a span context that contains a trace identifier and a span identifier, and generating a plurality of child spans. Each child span encapsulates states that represent a piece of the workflow and contains a reference to the parent span context. The states of the child spans include an error tag that indicates whether the piece of the workflow associated with the child span executed with an error. Because child spans may be generated for a piece of the workflow that is executed by a service running in the first or second management appliance, the span context for the parent span is persisted by the first management appliance and replicated for use by the second management appliance.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to methods, systems, and machine-readable media for unattended snapshot reversion for upgrades. A request to upgrade a virtual computing instance (VCI) in a software-defined datacenter (SDDC) can be received. A snapshot of the VCI can be created, wherein the snapshot excludes a predefined storage partition associated with the VCI. An upgrade of the VCI can be executed. Executing the upgrade can include performing a plurality of upgrade steps and storing, in the partition, information pertaining to the execution of the upgrade. The snapshot can be reverted to responsive to a cancellation of the upgrade. The upgrade of the VCI can be re-executed from the snapshot. Re-executing the upgrade can include performing a different plurality of upgrade steps determined based on the information pertaining to the execution of the upgrade.

Abstract: A method of reserving hardware resources for management appliances of a software-defined data center (SDDC) that have been deployed onto one or more hosts of a cluster of hosts, includes reserving hardware resources of the cluster for a resource pool that has been created for the management appliances, the hardware resources including at least processor resources of the hosts and memory resources of the hosts, and assigning the management appliances to the resource pool created for the management appliances. The management appliances share the hardware resources of the cluster with one or more other resource pools and, after the steps of reserving and assigning, are allocated at least the hardware resources that have been reserved for the resource pool created for the management appliances.
